The Five Pillars of the Harada Method

The Five Pillars of the Harada Method serve as the foundation for becoming a "self-reliant" individual—someone who can achieve their goals regardless of their environment or external circumstances.

1. Self-Reliance 🧘 (Spirit)

Move from dependence to mastery of your own destiny.

Take 100% responsibility for your outcomes.

2. Long-term Goal Setting 🎯 (Vision)

Use tools like the 64-cell matrix to turn dreams into actionable plans.

Provides both the "why" and the "how."

3. Routine & Discipline 🗓️ (Action)

Establish daily habits to ensure progress.

Use "Daily Check Sheets" to track consistency.

4. Skill Building 🛠️ (Technique)

Identify and master technical or soft skills needed to reach your goal.

Examples: learning a new coding language or leadership style.

5. Environment & Service 🧹 (Cleaning/Soji)

Maintain a clean physical and mental space.

Harada emphasizes "Soji" (cleaning) for mindfulness and respect for tools and community.

The Core Concept 💡

Each pillar represents a critical dimension of personal growth. Together, they create a holistic framework for achieving self-reliance:

✓ Spirit: You believe you can do it
✓ Vision: You know where you're going
✓ Action: You show up every day
✓ Technique: You have the skills to succeed
✓ Discipline: You respect your environment and community
